Aaron West - "Vortex with Opal Center"

This is a handmade marble by Wichita artist, Aaron West. It features a large synthetic opal as well as chips of opals, blue, and white glass spiraling down into the marble. Due to the magnification of the sphere, the spiraling design appears to be going deeper into the marble than physically possible. Truly a magnificent trick of the eye. The back has a colorful swirly design. Approximately 1 7/8" in diameter. Signed and dated by the artist.
